Features

The Yamaha YDP-S30 digital piano features a special “GHS (Graded Hammer Standard)” keyboard that offers natural

grand-piano type playability.

The GHS keyboard simulates the touch of a ﬁne piano keyboard that changes key weight over the range of the entire key-

board from low to high, providing a luxurious and natural playability.

The sound source of the YDP-S30 uses Yamaha’s original “AWM Stereo Sampling” tone-generation technology for rich

and musical voices.

Two of the piano voices, “Grand Piano 1” and “Grand Piano 2,” feature totally new samples recorded from a full-size con-

cert grand piano. The “Electric Piano” voice features multiple samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling); that

is, different samples are used depending on how fast or strong you strike the keys.

This digital piano sounds much closer to a true acoustic piano.
